Guys this is a topic on road to Russia why the F*** are you guys talking about this s%$#!? Open a new forum topic and have this convo in that thread not here.

You're probably right, in all fairness I haven't seen a lot of him at all, and maybe it's the guys around him but so far my honest opinion of what I have seen of him is he hasn't looked good, but either of a lot of others.

^Agree, This move will bite this unfit coach in the ass..

You think we will finish ahead of Belgium? Are you serious? Our only chance to the World Cup is through 2nd place and a playoff. Belgium has first locked up.

^I don't know guys im not really liking bakesetas, he's done nothing in regards to the NT, I think I'd rather see someone else there. His first touch and passing skills doesn't look the good to me.

^i also tend to agree that we don't play well against the weaker teams and we tend to play down to our competition, hopefully against Bosnia the players step up and play there asses off. I feel like Greece has always played better when they're considered the underdog, but for some reason when they tend to be the favorites going into a game they don't play well, I'm really hoping this is the case for our poor play lately and the NT comes up huge in the big games against Bosnia and Belgium. One of the reasons I believe we didn't play well besides the obvious in the Euro qualifier is that we went in there excepting to jsut dominate the the group and thought it was going to be a breeze and that reflected in our play, and once 3-4 games settled in with losses it was such a shock and we couldn't turn it around. The Bosnia game is absoloutley crucial to get a win as that would put to 12 points to there 6 with some breathing room. We cannot lose this game under any circumstances if we want to control our own destiny for the WC.

Guys its great we won but please guys let's not forget who we beat. Playing the way we've played in all 3 games if we were to start against Bosnia, Belgium and Gibraltor then We would be 1 wins 2 losses, we have no chemistry no fluidity, our coverage is poor our passing is even worse, no one is asking for this team to turn into Germany we just believe we can play better and cleaner football. Everyone in my mind was poor in the Estonia game, some guys worse then others. I pray These guys are ready for Bosnia and Skibbe which I have no faith in makes the right selections for once.

I agree, we really need the stadium to be full and loud as this is our World Cup game, we need the Greek fans to come out and rock the s%$#! out of the stadium as we need this win more then than anything.

That's why Skibbes judgment continues to be questioned, don't kid yourselves and think the results changed because of Skibbe, bottom line is we were never as bad as the results were in the EQ, things were bound to start going our way with whoever was coach. From Raneri and Makaranian, Skibbe is definitely the worst when in regards to subs and staring line up. Skibbe thinks in big games against big team the likes of Tzavelas, Tziolis,maniatis is going to hold the fort? Is he serious? And now because of his personal issues with Holebas he mistreated him and now we are less one talented player which we can't afford to lose as we don't have many. How much better would our team be with Holebas in there and Ninis as bench option for fortounis if he gets injured and Kone as a bench option, now with those guys it gives some options and depth on the bench if certain players aren't clicking that day. As much as I want to be positive like some suggest it's very hard as this team is playing some ugly football against weak teams and it's going to get tiring fast watching teams dominate us all day on the field. say what you want about Bosnia I watched those games after and even they the beat Cyprus 2-0 late, they dominated them the entire game, and in the Estonia match I don't think Estonia had a shot on goal and I believe Bosnia beat them 5-0 so there defense held up as some suggest it's s%$#!, bottom line Bosnia loks way better then us on field to start the WQ. We need to change this fast.

If we play like they way we played against Estonia against Bosnia we will lose, yes we were missing some very key players but we didn't play all that well against Cyprus either. If Bosnia pressure us like Estonia did they will definitely score as they have way better finishers.

World class player no and I didn't mean it like that maybe bad choice of words, What I meant was compared to the players playing in his position he looks like a world class player and there is no reason anyone should be chosen over him. he's definitely one of the most talented players we have.

First off I don't blame Holebas at all, why should he continue with this NT when he is a world class player and Skibbe chooses to play hacks in his positions instead. He's given Holebas like 15 Minutes in the last 3 or 4 matches. I have no respect for this coach at all. This will bite us in the ass wait and see. A line up that includes Holebas is so much more dangerous for us especially on the counter. The 9 points is great, but let's be real Bosnia and Belgium will get 9 points against those 3 teams as well. I just heard the Skibbes press conference I truly can't stand the guy.

9 points is a perfect start... But for those of you who think everyone else is bitching even though we won, then I'm sorry to say but you have no soccer IQ as that was horrible soccer by the NT. We beat Gibraltor, Cyprus and Estonia.. If we didn't get 9 points then we should be embarrassed. Like I said 9 points is great but we have a long way to go and let's start by using the right players. Estonia had us under pressure most of the match. Even more troublesome is we couldn't even string two passes together and spread there defense of a minnow. we looked so sloppy. can you imagine playing against a team that has some finishers? We'd be F***ed.

Bosnia scores on a horrible giveaway by Cyprus. Bosnia1 cyprus0

Yes it was a nice free kick goal by Staf. But we still suck

Can u guys imagine what Belgium and even Bosnia will do to us? Didn't Bosnia beat this team 5-0.lol

So what's it going to take for this unless peice of s%$#! coach to start Holebas? Why not giannaots either? Bask is usless and Karelis is not a play maker he is better when the ball is on his feet and he just shoots.

Bottom line we are s%$#! anyway you cut it. We are getting dominated and out played by minnows. This is a sorry sorry soccer team.

This is embarrassing we are getting dominated by Estonia.. omg this is horrible.we can't string two passes together.

Toro out injured Okonomou in.

Other then the first 2 minutes of the game we look like s%$#!..
